Here is a copy of what I posted: ( I hope they do not remove it )

There are many many articles in medical journals with case reports that discuss this exact subject. They also have discovered some 30 plus proteins that attach to the implants after implanted, and protein excesses stimulate and turn on disease.

Recent evidence confirms the fundamental involvement of the human immune system in the reaction to implantation of silicone based medical devices. An as yet-to-be particularized epitope of many complex substances sharing siloxane structures is presented through the MHC-II apparatus with development and retention of T cell memory. This memory can be tested for in practical terms using one or more forms of silica,which links the immunohistopathology and autoimmune attributes of“silicosis†with those of “siliconosis.†The lesions of siliconosis are typical of those for persistent antigens and delayed, cell mediated hypersensitivity. The basic descriptive pathology of the reaction to silicone has been known since soon after introduction of silicones in medical procedures, with the exception of some details related to the more recent discoveries on the role of cytokines in the immunopathic process. The clinical consequences of siliconosis are common and can be severe in some individuals implanted with silicone devices.
